       5. The multi-ply toilet tissue according to  claim 1  wherein the multi-ply toilet tissue exhibits a Total Wet Decay of greater than 30% as measured according to a Wet Decay Test Method. 
     
     
       6. The multi-ply toilet tissue according to  claim 1  wherein the multi-ply toilet tissue exhibits an Initial Total Wet Tensile of greater than 30 g/in as measured according to a Wet Tensile Test Method. 
     
     
       7. The multi-ply toilet tissue according to  claim 1  wherein the at least one fibrous structure ply comprises a structured fibrous structure ply. 
     
     
       8. The multi-ply toilet tissue according to  claim 1  wherein the plurality of fibrous elements comprises pulp fibers. 
     
     
       9. The multi-ply toilet tissue according to  claim 1  wherein the plurality of fibrous elements comprises filaments selected from the group consisting of: polyvinyl alcohol filaments, polysaccharide filaments, polysaccharide derivative filaments, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
       10. The multi-ply toilet tissue according to  claim 1  wherein the multi-ply toilet tissue further comprises a second fibrous structure ply. 
     
     
       11. A multi-ply toilet tissue comprising at least one fibrous structure ply comprising a plurality of fibrous elements, wherein the multi-ply toilet tissue exhibits a caliper of greater than 20.0 mils as measured according to a Caliper Test Method and a Plate Stiffness of less than 8.00 N*mm as measured according to a Plate Stiffness Test Method. 
     
     
       12. The multi-ply toilet tissue according to  claim 11  wherein the caliper is from about 27.0 to about 32.0 mils as measured according to the Caliper Test Method. 
     
     
       13. The multi-ply toilet tissue according to  claim 11  wherein the multi-ply toilet tissue exhibits a Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Capacity of from about 20 g/g to about 28 g/g as measured according to a Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Test Method. 
     
     
       14. The multi-ply toilet tissue according to  claim 11  wherein the multi-ply toilet tissue exhibits a Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Rate of less than about 1.0 g/sec as measured according to a Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Test Method. 
     
     
       15. The multi-ply toilet tissue according to  claim 11  wherein the multi-ply toilet tissue exhibits a Total Wet Decay of greater than 30% as measured according to a Wet Decay Test Method. 
     
     
       16. The multi-ply toilet tissue according to  claim 11  wherein the multi-ply toilet tissue exhibits an Initial Total Wet Tensile of greater than 30 g/in as measured according to a Wet Tensile Test Method. 
     
     
       17. The multi-ply toilet tissue according to  claim 11  wherein the at least one fibrous structure ply comprises a structured fibrous structure ply. 
     
     
       18. The multi-ply toilet tissue according to  claim 11  wherein the plurality of fibrous elements comprises pulp fibers. 
     
     
       19. The multi-ply toilet tissue according to  claim 11  wherein the plurality of fibrous elements comprises filaments selected from the group consisting of: polyvinyl alcohol filaments, polysaccharide filaments, polysaccharide derivative filaments, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
       20. The multi-ply toilet tissue according to  claim 11  wherein the multi-ply toilet tissue further comprises a second fibrous structure ply.
